Tape Core Deluxe Tape Echo Effects

Tape Core. A contemporary stomp box that offers classic Tape Echo tone. Just like the original Tape Echo, the NUX Tape Core features 3 reproduction heads yielding 7 different combinations of delay sounds. All of the natural sound, decay, modulation was created with our cutting-edge NUX TS/AC Technology!

Tape Core is professional, convenient, and designed to echo your vision!

The Original Tape MachineHere’s how the original Tape-Echo Machine worked:
The Recording Head (which is not needed in our digital version) is on the far left. The ones to the right are what we use to digitally recreate the sound using TS/AC Technology.

And now . . .

The Digital RecreationAs in the original version, 3 Repro-Tape Heads allows for 7 different combinations. The distance between the Repro-Tape Heads determines the delay sound.

Infinite Feedback FeatureThe maximum parameters of the REPEAT knob can be used to recreate the classic Infinite Feedback Oscillation effect that was, until now, only available on the physical machine. This trippy sci-fi effect, made popular by artists like Pink Floyd and The Steve Miller Band, allows for super-cool song intros, interludes, and endings.

AUTO TAPYou can use this function to turn On/Off NUX’s patented Smart-Tap Tempo. When not using Smart-Tap Tempo you need to HOLD your foot-switch 2 seconds and wait for LED indicator light to change color then TAP your speed.

With Smart Tap Temp, just start TAPPING, and it automatically knows that anything past 2 TAPS is your desired tempo.

KILL DRYDry meaning “ NO EFFECT” and Wet meaning “WITH EFFECTS”, there are situations where you need to “Kill the Dry”, for example: if you connect Tape Core Deluxe to an amp that is already running both the Wet and Dry signal in Parallel ( side-by-side ). The KILL DRY switch allows you to turn On / Off your Dry signal so there are no signal conflicts.

EQ / PARAMETER ADJUSTThe original Tape-Echo Machine had adjustment dials that allowed you to tweak some additional parameters: WOW, FLUTTER, BASS, REVERB, SATURATION and TREBLE. So, to get as close to the original as possible, we included them!
